1. ANARCHY IS COOL!!! (probably knows nothing about the true meaning of anarchy...)

2. Anarchy, or something very close to it, exists in hunting-gathering societies. It cannot exist in today's advanced, industrial societies because people in these societies are conditioned to crave power and money.
